Word 2003 by default saved any document I designated as a template (*.dot) in a predetermined location set up in Location of Files. I have noted that Word 2010 also saves user templates to a location in Location of Files (oddly it is in a folder called 'roaming.' Something I usually assocate with my cell phone rather than my computer). However, notwithstanding this setting Word 2010 saves my templates wherever it chooses. I noticed this after creating a template and then immediately trying to use it--and it wasn't 'there.' That is, it did not show up in File/New/Templates. That is, gone until I ran a search for it and found it. ![]() ![]() This time I found it in the folder I was working in when I decided to create the new template. Am I missing something here? Is the Location of Files setting subject to other unknown (at least to me) conditions? There may be fine reasons to choose to store templates in a location different from the setting but since they won't be accessible in the usual way (File/New/Templates etc.) it would probably be a very unique reason. I lost another template or two previously but I figured it was my own fault for not saving them correcty--until they showed up in the same search! The difference is that Word no longer defaults to the user templates folder when you save a template. This is touted as a benefit, though I don't really see how it is.
